The I am Journal
What does being a good Beacon student mean? Well to me it means everything and I do mean everything. Beacon is the kind of school that really prepares for the future and I am lucky to have the opportunity to be a student here. To be the kind of Beacon student I want to be, means hard work, perseverance, and talent.
Hard work is essential here at Beacon and basically anywhere you will be working. You need to put as much effort as you can into the assignments to achieve great grades. Working very hard on projects will result in good grades in every class. Hard work pays off in the long run.
Perseverance will help you get any assignment done even when its most difficult. It is always a good idea to be willing to give each assignment your all even when you feel like quitting. Pushing yourself to achieving a teacher’s highest expectations will guarantee the best grades possible. To put it simply, perseverance is key to becoming the best student you can be.
Lastly, you need a certain degree of talent in your specialized art. Talent is something that you are born with and have the skills needed for that certain subject you take in school. Sometimes you have to work harder in order to get the skills from whatever you learn and use them to further your talent in classes. Talent is something that will be developed here at Beacon.
I am glad to be a Beacon student. You have to be willing to work hard, persevere and develop your talent. To be the best you need these three elements to achieve greatness. Beacon is far above your average school and the only school for me.

The format of the script had a lot of errors. No transitions or shots were used, but instead were put into the action or as description. There were a few capitalization/ grammar problems, and punctuation need to be watched for errors.
The story line still is clear, but there are a few lines that make no sense or are no needed at all. The art discipline was included by adding the art project and art room. Also the flying images within the vision the character had. The length was affected by the descriptions. The scene headings need to be finished and the camera shots need to be explained as to what is being seen.

The conversation in which Alex and I had was brief, as there were not many flaws in the script. We discussed the problems and what the more interesting part of the script was and what obsticales may get in his way during the production of the film.

Alex's script was formatted very well. He had a few indentation problems, and some of the script descriptions were capitilized when other descriptions were not. He had a few capitilization/ grammar problems and some incorrect punctuation. His storyline was very clear and you were able to really visualize what it was he wanted to do with the film. He used his art by including an art room and an art project. The length of the script was actually affected by the descriptions. They were really in-depth, but carried out the film for a while.
